Managed to get fruit on my Bhut Joloka chillis... first time ever.

they look great. Similar to my Naga Morich which are just starting to ripen at last. Looking forward to making some firey relish!

Yes Ginge, one of, if not the, hottest you can grow"We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses."-- Abraham LincolnComment

Those Naga look good tiger, hope mine ripen same, with a bit of luck I'll be able to over winter the plants this year."We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses."-- Abraham LincolnComment

I'm going to try a bunch of these from seeds collected from a pack of Tescos Dorset Naga (the assorted Naga's and Jolokias are pretty much selections off the same basic stras if I understand correctly)..... I'm not planning on using them myselves but I remember back when I used to sell off unwanted plants to cover the cost of the fuel for the greenhouse that "hot chillis" were always popular at the bootsales..... Personally having got my tastebuds up to eating onions pickled with habanero chillis I don' think I could face something that was ten time hotter.....

Tried one of mine the other day the heat is absolutely mental. I am a real chilli head and have never tasted heat like it. Hoping that i can temper them a bit when making a relish and add flovour to the heat.

What size are these chilli's as from the pictures they look about the size of bell peppersComment
-
Mine vary from those that are about the size of my thumb but a little fatter to others which are about the size of a broad beanComment

Can understand the idea of wanting to grow a hotter and hotter chilli. I can't however understand wanting to eat something which is beyond being enjoyable, and no one will ever convince me that eating a hotter than hot chilli is enjoyable.

I like the really hot ones to add to jams and chutneys, as I don't need to add a lot, and you can then appreciate the flavours. My chocolate habaneros have a different flavour to the scotch bonnets, once you get past the heat.I could not live without a garden, it is my place to unwind and recover, to marvel at the power of all growing things, even weeds!
